⏱️ Track recap
In March, FM sent three athletes to indoor states: junior Izzie Sullivan and seniors Maria Khalifeh and Nolan McGinn. Khalifeh competed in the 1000m while Sullivan and McGinn both ran the distance double: 1600m/3200m for McGinn and 1500m/3000m for Sullivan.
In June, Sullivan and McGinn returned to outdoor states (hosted by Cicero North Syracuse), along with sophomore Nick Domashenko, who competed in the 100m dash (11.14). McGinn again ran the distance double, narrowly missing a PR in the 3200m (9:14.46) and finishing fifth in the 1600m (4:15.94). Not to be out-podiumed, Izzie Sullivan finished fifth in the 3000m (9:44.31), decisively bouncing back from a challenging fall season.
Cheers to the entire team and best wishes to recent graduates!
🍻 Mini-reunion at Utica Boilermaker
We’ll have at least a few alumni running at the Utica Boilermaker on July 14, with a few more expected to join the post-race festivities and a mini-reunion photo. If you’re in the area, come join in the fun! Reply to this email for details.
🏅 FM Area Youth Running Group
Last summer, John Aris (’98) started a youth running group for grades four through eight, free and open to all young aspiring athletes (and family members) looking to improve their general fitness. The group meets every week and has grown to a couple dozen folks. Learn more via their Facebook group.
